Jeff,
The RWY 26 shot really gives a great perspective of the wing design and flex of the 787. Sweet photo!

Thanks Chris. "Swoopy" is the adjective that comes to my aging mind.

Chris is right Jeff, your shot of the Dreamliner from behind on 26 is a great perspective and an outstanding shot. Very nice composition also.

Another "swoopy" shot...

Nah, I think he was using the new Hubble extension.

Ah ha, so that's his secret!

Spring is in the air, the smell of orange blossoms and burned rubber.

Jeff, really like the "RWY 26" shot! Who knew the 787 was a lighter than air machine.

An ever so faint bit of light sneaking out of the cloud cover as the Dreamliner departs to the east.

GLEAMING THE TUBE - British Airways 747-4 taxiing to the gate in the last rays of sunset.

So FYI... don't know if this will ever happen again, but I was on the 6th floor parking deck of Terminal 3 for the arrival of Air Force One. I left and came back for the departure. I was there for a good hour and a half or so. Well, 3:00 comes and goes, and the Phoenix PD came and, at the request of the Secret Service, kicked everyone- photographers and people there just wanting to catch a glimpse- off of Terminal 3.

I barely made it to Terminal 4 on the Sky Train.

Thought it was interesting. Also making me wonder what I need to do to get myself some press credentials so I don't have an issue in the future!
